TAB PAID FOR AAA CARE OF #53
Astoria 23rd’s Division Uniform attempted to disperse footage of a deceased Douen on live T.V. on the 2Eth of August 1995. I was able to infiltrate and recut the footage to be more or less harmless. The original footage was supposedly filmed in 1947 following the “Roswell Incident.” The footage I found, destroyed, and replaced, was pretty clear it was shot more recently than that… maybe 1992 or thereabouts. So I doubt there is still a Douen body that needs taking care of.
The footage was being held by “Ray Santilli,” but he sure didn’t sound very British to me. Also, he matched the profile of A23’a Firefighter from Uniform. Where is Ray Santilli, and is he even a real person? I don’t know. All I know is the footage that is being distributed by Uniform. The case for the footage reel was labeled at 22 minutes, but I only found 17 minutes worth of footage. Someone or something must’ve gotten to it first. A possible theory I’ve been kicking around… They still have that 5 minutes of footage elsewhere. They’ve shown the T.V. studios the 17 minutes and are or were planning to slip in those extra 5 minutes. But why? Electrical magic? Maybe. Mass panic? More likely. Obviously, I wasn’t able to find those 5 minutes of the missing film, so there’s still a chance it’ll air on the 2Eth. I’m hoping once they review the footage and see the little rubber alien body I spliced in, they’ll panic and switch plans. For now, though, I’m tabbing out of this case. I’ve done what I can to protect the social awareness of the Otherside, and now that I know Uniform’s the owner of the footage, I don’t really want to stick my nose in their business. Not alone, anyway.
